Wonderful dining experience. The staff was very attentive and knowledgable. On the whole, the food exceeeded our expectations. I certainly enjoyed the Peppercorn steak . Our only complaint was that the side dishes of augratin potatoes weren't hot - tepid, and we had two orders. All in all, another good meal.

I would highly recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious and the service is outstanding. I would make reservations though. The normal wait on the weekend is 1 1/2 to 2 hours but if you make a reservation they have to seat you within 20 minutes of your reservation time. I love their petite filet medallions with the crusts. No matter how you have it cooked, the meat is so tender it almost melts in your mouth! Also, I would advise to upgrade your side to the white cheddar au gratin potatoes. Absolutely heaven. I go at least once or twice a year for a special occasion and I still have not gotten sick of it. After eating steak at Wildfire, eating steak at anywhere else just does not compare and usually leaves me disappointed.

It was a special occaision that took me to Wildfire. The decor/ambiance was wonderful. The food is pretty much ala carte...you order each item separately. My steak was pretty rare for a medium well order. It was sent back twice but was very tasty once they got it right.

I can honestly say without a doubt that this is the best restaurant in the Chicagoland area. The food is quite pricey but is the small price you have to pay for amazing food. I have never had steak that good in my life. I 100% recommend this place. With friendly servers, quick seating and a warm friendly atmosphere, this place cant be beat.

Wow. Wildfire is awesome. I swear that they have the best mashed potatoes anywhere! Their signature salad is excellent, but I wouldn't recommend it prior to your meal, as it is a meal in itself! They split the salads between 2 to 4 people, so you think they would be dainty. Nothing is dainty here. Prime rib, fantastic. Lamb chops, not gamey. Filet, superbly tender. And, to top it all off, they have a gluten free menu for those of you with allergies... one of the few restaurants to do so.

It's a great treat for celebrations, romantic dinners, and kid friendly.

Restaruant is at the corner of Rt. 72 (ie Higgins Rd) & Mecham. I'd call to make a reservation first. Check out their bar. Great ambiance and friendly service. Spinach dip, bacon wrapped scallops and Crab Cake are wonderful appetizers. My favorite entree has to be their NY Strip with the Parmesean crust. This is not on their menu, but be sure to order! Their Twice Baked potato is huge and absolutly divine! Scalloped potatoes are great as well. Both of these are worth their upcharge. Martini's are very yummy! If you have the ability, save room for dessert! Coconut Cream Pie - YUMMY! Might have to have a sample and take home because servings are large! This is my favorite place to eat for a special occasion or any day! I hope you check it out! This is also a Lettuce Entertain You Restaurant as well. Enjoy!

I was taken here for the first time on my last birthday, and the entire experience was excellent. The food absolutely splendid as was the friendly service. The environment is remiscent of the 30's and the black leather booths and dim lighting with high ceilings and jazzy music complete your evening. While the prices might be a little extravagant for some, you can still get a great meal for $50. A definitely super place.

I really liked the Family Style dinners Wildfire offers. This is when you bring in a total of 6 people and pay about $25 per person (not including tax or tip) and you can choose two appetizers, two salads, two entrees, two sides, and two desserts and the portions are almost unlimited. If you want more, you can request more, although they do set a limit to amount of meat you can get. But overall, it is a great place to go with a big group of people and if everyone can decide on the same dishes, then the family style dinner is a great value.

PROS: The family style dinner option.
CONS: The price is a bit high if you pay if you pay for each entree individually.
